Mobile friendly?

[Martee]

Would you say that your site is mobile friendly? I'd say this site is because it looks awesome on my iPad but it also works well with TapaTalk! Very mobile friendly indeed!

You have to be mobile friendly in 2024! If anything, you need to be mobile first and then desktop second

Depends on the niche in a lot of ways.

Thankfully, the software I use (Jcink) has a mobile-friendly version to view the site, otherwise, it would be complicated to create new skins to cater to mobile devices.

Mobile-friendliness is a must for most forums since mobile devices are ever-growing in popularity and usage. Many people probably have a smartphone, but no PC these days.

My blogs are mobile friendly, I have used responsive themes. I use phpBB and in my experience phpBB looks very good on hand held devices. I also use MyBB, which I think is not very good for mobile devices.

MyBB is a nice script... but last I checked, the mobile friendly aspect had to be theme/style done and not in the core script.
That is one of the things that hurts that script the most in todays environment.

Oh man this thread was originally made when lots of forum software weren’t responsive and you had to do some work to get forums to display properly on phones… I don’t miss those days, but heck I can’t believe MyBB is still not responsive by default. But all my sites are mobile friendly.

I try to keep my sites as mobile-friendly as possible. In fact, I feel that creating for mobile first is your best strategy.

I remember thinking they were nuts when they said start making it mobile friendly. That was back when smartphones were just introduced, and they sucked. Now most of your traffic is mobile.

I bet you if you made a from dedicated to desktop computers, over 80% of your traffic and views would be using a mobile device. LOL. You know it's true.

Be mobile friendly or the other forum will do it and get all the attention.
